EPB Solar Share has received so much support, it is currently sold out. The demand for local solar energy generation is higher than the number of panels we currently have available, so EPB is working with TVA to determine if we can construct additional solar farms or create other renewable energy options.

Information about TVA's Green Power Switch, now known as Green Switch, are coming soon. Please check back for updates.

At this point, whether you install panels on your house or participate in community solar, solar power generation is a premium product that's a bit more expensive than conventional power. In the near term, the primary benefit of solar energy generation is environmental — generating energy from the sun significantly reduces carbon emission and contributes to improving the health of our planet. In the longer term, the financial benefit of solar is that it locks in your energy cost at today's rate. As the cost of conventional power rates go up, the cost of participating in Solar Share remains the same. What's nice about this is that as the cost of conventional electric rates goes up, your Solar Share bill credits become more valuable.

Unfortunately, no. The 30% federal residential income tax credit available under Section 25D of the Internal Revenue Code only applies to homeowners making a capital investment to install solar at their home. Fortunately, Solar Share is built on a scale that allows EPB to offer pricing that is very competitive and often lower than federally subsidized rooftop installations.

No. Your monthly credit is calculated from the total amount of energy produced at the array divided by the total number of panels.

A REC, or "renewable energy credit," represents one megawatt of energy that has been generated using a renewable, carbon-free method, such as solar panels or windmills. You may sometimes see RECs referred to as credits, green tags, or renewable energy certificates.
RECs help us accurately measure the environmental benefits of green energy. When you purchase a REC, you're supporting renewable energy generation and displacing emissions associated
Credits will depend on total generation of the array for the month prior and will be calculated at the current GSA-1 electric rate. For example, if your panel generates 37 kWh and the current GSA-1 electric rate is about 11.5¢ per kWh with fuel cost adjustment you would receive a credit of $4.26 per panel. What's nice about this is that if the cost of power goes up, your Solar Share bill credits become more valuable as they automatically adjust as the electric rate rises or falls.
